Health care premiums skyrocketed this year because Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits that help Americans afford their health insurance. Republicans continue to prioritize the needs of their billionaire friends over hardworking American families.

Gas prices are skyrocketing from Trump’s reckless Iran War. Americans have spent an additional $83 billion on gas since the beginning of the war – that’s $699 more for the average American family. It’s time to end the war.

Floridians are losing health coverage faster than anyone else in the country thanks to extreme politicians letting ACA tax credits expire. They’ve created a cost-of-living crisis and put health care out of reach for millions.

From a new ballroom to the Kennedy Center to the reflecting pool, Trump's vanity projects are expected to cost over $1.8 billion. That's more than it would cost to cover a month of groceries or electricity for every San Diego household. Affordability was never a priority for him, and this is proof.

Normally, gas prices drop this time of year. Instead fuel costs are skyrocketing, due to Trump’s war in Iran, forcing many Louisianians to choose between buying baby formula and filling their gas tank. That’s a choice no family should have to make.

Health care isn’t a game. Health insurance costs are going up again, and millions of Americans are going to feel it in their wallets. Democrats are fighting to make sure families can afford the care they need. Trump and Republicans are making that harder.

The premium increases stem in part from rising healthcare costs, including higher prices for medical care and expensive prescription drugs.

Science shouldn’t be political. Researchers need stability to develop the cures and treatments patients rely on. President Trump’s repeated attacks on research funding will lead to fewer scientific breakthroughs happening in America. In San Diego, it means fewer jobs and more economic chaos.
